Base URL in ASP.Net MVC3 / Razor
If you are doing AJAX calls inside a MVC3 applications (with Razor), you will frequently need to know the base URL of the site.
Especially if you are using non-standard port numbers, using Request.Url.Authority appears like a good lead at first.
However, it will fail in a load balanced environment (it will give you the actual web server, not the load balancer).
Instead, use this:
@{
var urlHelper = new UrlHelper(Html.ViewContext.RequestContext);
var baseurl = urlHelper.Content(“~”);
}
